Server cabinet

ABSTRACT

A server cabinet includes a bottom wall, a plurality of supporting poles extending up from the bottom wall, and a plurality of adjusting assemblies installed on distal ends of the supporting poles. Each adjusting assembly includes a sliding member slidably fitted about the corresponding supporting pole along a lengthwise direction of the supporting pole, and a number of fasteners mounting the sliding member to the supporting pole.

BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a server cabinet.

2. Description of Related Art

Server cabinets usually include a base, a cover, and a plurality ofsupporting poles mounted between the base and the cover. However, thelength of the supporting poles cannot be changed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present disclosure, including the accompanying drawings, isillustrated by way of examples and not by way of limitation. It shouldbe noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosureare not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean “atleast one.”

FIGS. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of a server cabinet 100 comprising asubstantially rectangular bottom wall 20, four substantially U-shapedcross-sections supporting poles 30, four adjusting apparatuses 50, and acover 60. The four supporting pole 30 extend substantiallyperpendicularly up from four corners of the bottom wall 20,

Each supporting pole 30 comprises a rectangular supporting plate 32extending up from the bottom wall 20, two side plates 33 perpendicularlyextending inward from two opposite sides of the supporting plate 32, andtwo flanges 35 protruding toward each other from distal sides of theside plates 33 opposite to the supporting plate 32. The supporting plate32, the side plates 33, and the flanges 35 cooperatively bound areceiving slot 36. Distal ends of the side plates 33 define two pairs ofthrough holes 332.

Each adjusting assembly 50 comprises a substantially U-shapedcross-section sliding member 52 and four fasteners 53. The slidingmember 52 comprises a rectangular sliding plate 522, two positioningplates 523 extending substantially perpendicularly out from two oppositesides of the sliding plate 522, and a stopping portion 526 protruding upfrom a top of the positioning plates 523. The positioning plates 523define a plurality of position holes 525 arrayed along a lengthwisedirection of the positioning plates 523.

Each fastener 53 can comprise a screw 532 and a nut 533.

FIG. 3 shows that in assembly of the server cabinet 100, bottom ends ofthe sliding members 52 are inserted into the receiving slots 36 untilthe stopping portions 526 are stopped on the top ends of thecorresponding supporting poles 30. The sliding plates 522 are slidablyengaged with inner surfaces of the supporting plates 32, the positioningplates 523 are slidably engaged with inner surfaces of the side plates33, and the positioning holes 525 align with the through holes 332. Thescrews 532 extend through the through holes 332 and the correspondingpositioning holes 525, to engage with the nuts 533. The cover 60 ismounted on the top ends of the sliding members 52.

FIG. 4 shows that in use, each fastener 53 is disengaged from thecorresponding supporting poles 30. The sliding members 52 are slid alongthe corresponding receiving slots 36, until the server cabinet 100reaches a predetermined height. The screws 532 extend through thethrough holes 332 and the corresponding positioning holes 525, to engagewith the nuts 533.

Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the embodimentshave been set forth in the foregoing description, together with detailsof the structure and function of the embodiments, the present disclosureis illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially inthe matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within theprinciples of the embodiments to the full extent indicated by the broadgeneral meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.

What is claimed is:
 1. A server cabinet, comprising: a bottom wall; aplurality of supporting poles extending up from the bottom wall; and aplurality of adjusting assemblies installed on distal ends of thesupporting poles; wherein each adjusting assembly comprises a slidingmember slidably fitted about a corresponding supporting pole along alengthwise direction of the supporting pole and a plurality of fastenersmounting the sliding member to the supporting pole.
 2. The servercabinet of claim 1, wherein each supporting pole comprises a supportingplate extending up from the bottom wall and two side plates extendingfrom two opposite sides of the supporting plate toward the samedirection, the supporting plate and the side plates cooperatively bounda receiving slot, and the sliding member is received in the receivingslot.
 3. The server cabinet of claim 2, wherein each sliding membercomprises a sliding plate slidably engaged with an inner surface of thesupporting plate of the corresponding supporting pole, and twopositioning plates extending from opposite sides of the sliding platetoward the same direction, and the positioning plates are slidablyengaged with inner surfaces of the side plates of the supporting pole.4. The server cabinet of claim 3, wherein tops of the side plates ofeach supporting pole define a plurality of through holes arrayed along alengthwise direction of the side plates, the positioning plates of eachsliding member define a plurality of position holes arrayed along alengthwise direction of the positioning plates, the position holes alignwith the through holes, and the fasteners are mounted in the throughholes and corresponding position holes.
 5. The server cabinet of claim3, wherein each sliding member further comprises a stopping portionprotruding out from a top of the positioning plates, to be stopped onthe top of the corresponding supporting pole.
 6. The server cabinet ofclaim 3, wherein each supporting pole further comprises two flangesprotruding toward each other from distal sides of the side plates,opposite to the corresponding supporting plate.
